This inaugural list will recognise the work of 50 key individuals within the Zoo & Aquarium sector.

Wildlife and people thriving together
Lori Perkins is Vice President of Canopy Strategic Partners.

She says: “Canopy Strategic Partners is excited to be a supporter of the inaugural Blooloop 50 Zoo & Aquarium Influencer List in 2022. For the last decade, we have been champions to the passionate leaders of these mission-focused organizations and we’re proud to recognize their commitment to and influence on creating a world where wildlife and people can thrive together.
“This initiative is an excellent way to celebrate the accomplishments of those working tirelessly in our community for many years and also elevate new faces and perspectives of the next generation of leaders…something Canopy Strategic Partners has been doing for many years.”
Charles Read, MD, blooloop, says:
“With all the threats wildlife faces, the work of the best zoos and aquariums is now more important than ever. Leading the conversation in the battle against climate change and fighting to preserve endangered species, the best zoos and aquariums are an authoritative voice. They drive forward vital conservation work, champion biodiversity and sustainability projects and work to protect and preserve key ecosystems.”
The Influencer list will celebrate the work of just some of the people working hard in the zoo and aquarium community to protect our natural environment and the world’s wildlife.
Nominations now open
We need blooloop readers to nominate the people in the zoo and aquarium community they believe deserve to be included. Each nomination will be judged entirely on merit, irrespective of location, job title, or employer.

The most nominated people will then be considered by our panel of industry experts. The final 50 will be people who are passionate about the sector and are driving real change.
